    100. How Do You Get Over a Plateau?

    This week marks our 100th episode! In honor of making it to this milestone, we wanted to chat about something that comes up in every journey when piloting something new: plateaus. Whether in new relationships, fitness pursuits, professional development, or anything you’re trying for the first time, there’s a period when you eventually feel yourself stalling out, slowing down, or not moving forward. In this week’s episode, we chat about: - figuring out when to persist, rest, or try something new - waiting for delayed results and giving things time to work - the difference between hard work and something feeling hard - strategies for overcoming plateaus - & so much more!

    99. What Trade-offs Are You Willing to Make to “Have It All”?

    “You can have it all, but not all at the same time.” We’ve all heard that there are trade-offs we have to make to live our definition of “having it all” but it’s hard to sacrifice your sleep, time with loved ones, lucrative opportunities, and other things you want…even if it’s helping you achieve your goals. In this week’s episode, we chat about: - choosing your choice and aligning our trade-offs to our values - feeling guilty about setting boundaries or saying no - trying not to live in the past - & so much more!

    98. Is Making Your Job Part of Your Identity Always a Bad Thing?

    We all know how toxic it can be when too much of your life and identity are tied to your job or the work you do. But is it always a bad thing to make work a part of your identity? Is there a healthy way to make work part of who you are without becoming a workaholic or burning out? This week, we discuss: - treating your job or career like a relationship - finding work that aligns with your purpose/passion or discovering your purpose through work - when your income traps you in a certain career or work - getting friends outside of your industry - whether making your life about work only for artists, entrepreneurs, and athletes - & so much more!

    97. What Do the Sunday Scaries Tell Us About Ourselves?

    If you’ve never had the Sunday Scaries… we don’t believe you. Everyone has had that feeling of anxiety or dread the day before a work week starts. But why? And can we get rid of it?  We discuss: - why we all have experienced the Sunday Scaries - outsourcing chores and making time for fun as a remedy - whether better time management is the solution - investigating what our scaries are telling us we’re scared of - which day of the week matches our personality - & so much more!

    96. What Does Executive Presence Mean Today?

    What is executive presence? Most of us don’t think about it outside of professional development meetings at our jobs.

    95. How Do You Pitch Yourself (or Your Business) Without Sounding Sales-y?

    Pitching yourself gives many people the ick. It can feel strange to sell yourself, your ideas, or your product, especially if sales or business development isn’t formally in your job description. But, we all have to do it at some point in our lives, whether we work in retail or not…so we better learn how to get comfortable with it! We discuss: - how parents can prepare us from an early age to get comfortable - the value of storytelling over transactional conversations - prioritizing relationships over revenue  - dos and don’ts for successful sales - & so much more! Mentioned in the episode: “Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success One Relationship at a Time” by Keith Ferrazzi: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227558/never-eat-alone-expanded-and-updated-by-keith-ferrazzi-and-tahl-raz/ Cymbiotika Liposomal Glutathione: https://cymbiotika.com/products/glutathione  Shop App: https://shop.app  Ruby Ibarra, 2025 Tiny Desk Contest Winner: Tiny Desk Concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcPS-21ZVMw  Co-Star: https://www.costarastrology.com/ “We Are What We Eat” by Alice Waters: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/598360/we-are-what-we-eat-by-alice-waters/  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.

    94. Is Work-Life Balance Your Employer’s Responsibility or Your Own?

    Emma Grede recently had a hot take that work-life balance is not your job’s responsibility. Many people thought it was a controversial opinion, but it made us think. What relationship do we need with work so we can also show up in our lives? That answer looks different for each of us, and at different moments of our lives. We believe our lives and our happiness are our responsibility…but that doesn’t mean employers are fully off the hook. In this episode, we chat about: - whether you can really balance work-life balance with ambition - learning that balance rarely means 50-50 - moving from an employee mindset to an employer mindset - better questions to ask in a job interview to suss out work-life balance - & so much more! Mentioned in the episode: Emma Grede on The Diary of a CEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdlXcVu1CTs   Michelle Obama on Good Hang with Amy Poehler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMmCb2hq1OA  WTHN: https://wthn.com/  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.

    93. Book Club: “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins

    “The Let Them Theory” is the latest bestselling book by Mel Robbins, who is an award-winning podcast host, #1 New York Times bestselling author, and one of the world’s most respected experts in mindset, life improvement, and behavior change. “The Let Them Theory” is a step-by-step guide on how to stop letting other people's opinions, drama, and judgment impact your life.  We loved how the theory Mel describes in this book helps you free yourself from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. We’re all control freaks and this book is a great tool for anyone (like us) who’s learning to relinquish that. In this episode, we chat about: - why “let them” is not letting go - pushing past negative opinions and disappointing people - overcoming emotional overwhelm - using this theory to navigate adult friendships, and support loved ones through change - how to be more effective at nagging and influencing others - & so much more! In Mel’s words, “Let Them is strength. It’s releasing the grip you have on how things should go and allowing them to unfold the way they will go. You’re making an active, empowered choice to release control you never truly had.” Mentioned in the episode: “The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About” by Mel Robbins: https://www.melrobbins.com/book/the-let-them-theory/  Ampersand Fragrances: https://www.ampersandfragrances.com/ Who Gives a Crap: https://whogivesacrap.org/  Jules Acree’s Slow Brew Sunday newsletter: https://julesacree.kit.com/b9789442a2  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.
